[ There is one thing she thinks she needs to say before she begins walking away from this mess. So with her back straight and voice painfully open with grief she doesn't fully understand, she says: ]
Thank you for listening and I do hope you enjoy your cookie, whatever to choose to with it in the end. I made it myself. But... Be kinder to yourself, Emet-Selch. Shutting people out is easier, but not worth it in the end. I should know at least that much.
[ That's it, isn't it? That's all she really thinks she had left to say to him for now. She begins to walk away from him, careful steps and they become more confident when she feels exactly that in her own last words to him for the moment.
It's not a satisfying ending for her, but she didn't think there would be one when faced with him in the first place. She does -- she thinks she does, at least -- understand him a little better. Though how much of it she will think about later, well, that would depend on how much time she has to herself after it. ]
